Passover table

If you know the story of Exodus you can understand what was going on at the Holiday table.

No drama at all

The tree is down.Another lesson to be learned- sometimes the drama is only in my head. It took 10 minutes and the tree was down.The only sad moment was when i saw a big brown bird flying in circles where the tree was. I think it looked for her nest.

Inspiration

Inspired by Cro, (lady M  it was), i painted the metal chairs , 2 years late.  The palm tree will be cut down tomorrow because of the heavy constructions here.I know nothing about gardening, but sometimes my garden just looks beautiful; not for long , summer is almost here , the "yellow time" will be here soon.

For John

John asked me for some photos from here, so here they are. The first one above is what i see every morning from my window, the second is how beautiful this place is , the third is how beautiful it will be when all the machines will go away one day, and the last is my kitchen window, almost like John's window, but no one is asking for eggs here.

Homage to Cro

This is what is going right now in my yard. It is going all over the place for weeks. As if i don't have other things to worry about, now i am afraid that the house will collapse. I just realised that all our fears are a story that the mind is telling us, we are the creators of the story, the readers of it and  viewers of the pictures that the mind draw while we visualise the story of our fears, I  shall try to create happier stories from now on.

My house did not collapse and the orange monster just went away.

Waiting

I took the picture this morning and sent it to my son who went to Europe for a month.The neighbor's dog likes Edmund and come to sit with him every morning.

Few hours latter i noticed that Edmund is sad, very sad. I called the vet who took him to make some checks.He called me back now and said that Edmund has his kidneys problems again and he will be back home tonight. The vet is sending me pictures of syringes filled with blood and urine. all the pros and cons of our  times in one day.

Expiry date

If you listen carefully you can hear some Hebrew words in almost every big city in the world. That what happened to me in the 14 of December 2003 when i was in Amsterdam and saw hundreds of Kurds dancing slowly but happily  to the sounds of their monotone music. I heard some Hebrew words near me and asked the woman what happened. She told me that Saddam Husein was captured by the Americans. It all came to my mind yesterday when i noticed that i still have the gas masks from the Gulf war at 1991.I shall keep them to remind me that some of our greatest fears have sometimes an expiry date.
